Warehouse Floor Coating in BC, Built for Forklift Traffic
Precision Industrial Painting Solutions is a Coquitlam-based contractor that coats warehouse and distribution floors across BC's Lower Mainland and Fraser Valley. We test the slab for moisture, shot blast or diamond grind it, repair joints and cracks, then install forklift-rated epoxy or urethane with safety line marking, phased around your operations. Every job is backed by a written workmanship warranty and starts with a free on-site quote.

Coatings That Handle Warehouse Traffic
Warehouse floors take abuse that would destroy an ordinary coating. We specify industrial-grade epoxy and fast-cure urethane systems rated for forklift and pallet-jack traffic, point loads, thermal shock and chemical exposure. The result is a seamless, dust-free floor that protects your slab and lowers maintenance costs. A sealed floor also means better light reflectance, easier cleanup and a safer, more professional working environment.
- Forklift- and traffic-rated epoxy and urethane systems
- Chemical- and abrasion-resistant topcoats
- Dust-proofing and easy-clean surfaces
- High light reflectance for brighter facilities
Why We Test the Slab for Moisture First
Most warehouse slabs in the Lower Mainland sit directly on grade in a wet climate, and moisture rising through the concrete is a leading cause of coatings that blister, lift or lose their bond under forklift wheels. We test the slab for moisture and condition on the free site visit, before we recommend a system. When the slab calls for it, a moisture mitigation step goes into the quote, so you know the cost of doing it right before work starts, not after the floor fails.
Industrial-Grade Concrete Prep
In a warehouse, prep is non-negotiable. We shot blast or diamond grind the slab to the correct profile, repair cracks, joints and spalls, and remove oil and contaminants before priming. This is what separates a coating that survives years of forklift traffic from one that flakes in months.
- Shot blasting and diamond grinding
- Joint filling and crack repair
- Moisture testing and mitigation
- Degreasing and contaminant removal
How a Warehouse Floor Project Runs
A warehouse cannot simply shut down, so the project is planned around your racking, receiving and shipping from day one.
- 01
Site walk and moisture test
We walk the floor with you, test the slab, and note traffic, chemicals, racking and the hours each zone can be out of service.
- 02
Zone plan and written quote
The floor is split into zones with a schedule, the coating system for each area, and the warranty terms in writing.
- 03
Prep and repair, zone by zone
Shot blasting or grinding, joint and crack repair, degreasing, and moisture mitigation where the test called for it.
- 04
Coating system
Primer, forklift-rated epoxy or fast-cure urethane build coats, anti-slip broadcast where needed, and a chemical-resistant topcoat.
- 05
Line marking and layout
Aisles, pedestrian walkways, forklift lanes, hazard and staging zones painted as part of the system.
- 06
Staged cure and handover
Each zone returns to service on a confirmed cure time, then a walk-through inspection and care guidance at the end.
Safety Line Marking & Floor Layout
A coated floor is the perfect canvas for a clear, compliant layout. We paint aisle markings, pedestrian walkways, forklift lanes, hazard zones and staging areas with durable line-marking coatings. Add fire lanes, curbs, bollards and guardrail coatings to round out a facility that is safe and code-conscious.
- Aisle and pedestrian walkway striping
- Forklift lanes and hazard zones
- Fire lanes, curbs and bollard coatings
- Anti-slip zones in wet or ramp areas
A Crew That Knows Forklift Floors
Our people hold forklift tickets themselves, so they understand how your equipment moves and where a floor takes the hardest wear. Precision is a member of AMPP, the Association for Materials Protection and Performance (formerly SSPC), and follows WorkSafeBC safety standards on every site. Crew tickets include:
- AMPP member (formerly SSPC)
- WorkSafeBC compliant, WHMIS 2015 and Occupational First Aid Level 1
- Respiratory protection and confined space awareness
- Counterbalance forklift, forklift classes 1, 4 and 5, and telehandler (Class 7, Level 1)
- Fall protection, scaffold and ladder safety, and MEWP

Common questions.
Will the coating hold up to forklift traffic?+
Yes. We install industrial epoxy and urethane systems specifically rated for forklift and pallet-jack traffic, point loads and heavy impact.
Can you coat our floor without shutting down?+
In most cases, yes. We phase the work by zone and schedule off-hours, evenings and weekends so shipping, receiving and racking stay operational.
Do you coat warehouse floors in Coquitlam?+
Yes. Coquitlam is our home base, and we coat warehouse and industrial floors in the Mayfair, United Boulevard and Pacific Reach areas and across the Tri-Cities, with free on-site quotes at 778 538 1802.
Do you test for moisture before coating a warehouse slab?+
Yes, on the free site visit and before we recommend a system. Where the slab shows moisture, we add a mitigation step to the quote so the coating keeps its bond under traffic.
Do you also paint safety lines and fire lanes?+
Yes. Line marking, aisle striping, hazard zones, fire lanes, curbs and bollard coatings are all part of what we do, often in the same project.
What about chemical spills and staining?+
We specify chemical-resistant topcoats matched to your operation, creating a non-porous surface that resists staining and cleans up easily.
How do you prevent the coating from peeling?+
Aggressive mechanical prep, shot blasting or grinding, plus moisture testing and joint repair is what ensures a lasting bond, all backed by our written workmanship warranty.
